In a scenario, where every country is fighting against each other and is war ready, governments are leaving no stone unturned to strengthen their military prowess – be it land, water or air.

How will artificial intelligence power jets?

The Su-57 will use artificial intelligence to help pilots with decision-making and threat detection. The F-47 is also being developed with AI for autonomous flying and managing complex missions, making both jets smarter in battle. Russia is improving the Su-57’s radar-absorbing coatings and airframe for better stealth. The F-47 is designed with advanced stealth from the start, aiming to avoid detection in contested airspace. Both the jets focus on staying hidden from enemy radars.

How is the production, scale?

Experts say the F-47 is backed by a large US defence budget and global allies, likely leading to wider production and export. The Su-57 faces challenges in scaling up production and attracting export customers, which could affect its long-term impact.

Who will rule the skies by 2030?

The race between the Su-57 and F-47 will shape the future of air power. Success will depend on technology, production, and global partnerships. By 2030, the world may see a new leader in the skies or a close contest.
